I woke up this morning very excited! I am so anxious to change my life and become a healthier me. Even though I've gone back and forth with myself contemplating if I've made the right decision, I know I'm doing what's best. It seems so surreal now...like all the preparation I've done, appointment after appointment, test after test, my day is FINALLY here. It was a struggle but I made it! Heck I didn't think I could make it though my 2 week pre-op diet. Yet, every day it became easier and easier. 11 pounds down and I'm ready for more! I ask that all my fellow sleevers keep me in your prayers today as I'll keep you all in me! God Bless! Next post.....post-op! =)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
